You gotta water the bait plants before they'll grow, senpai.

No one gives a shit about your terrible purchase. Obama made homosexuality legal you are just 1 of millions. Not unique. Not special. Just another faggot.

Electronics lose value the moment you purchase them. E watches will forever be for neckbeards and women while alphas invest in timepieces that can actually gain value.

if you're behind a router you're fine.

Yes. I used to take advantage of telnet, some service packs of XP left the telnet port open by default so you simply need to copy the IP address and paste it in the network folder of your file system in order to access XP computer. This was a looong time ago and I hardly remember all the steps to take in order to achieve what you are looking for. However, take a look at telnet.

Oh I know. But I want to make this a pretend irl situation.

"Imagine your grandparents refuse to update, and are running an unsecure windows xp machine". The neighbors have an edgy as fuck teenager who managed to ask for/crack the wifi password. They have the firewall disabled, so he can do x" or "They have the samba service (which I cant figure out how to set up) enabled so they can use the printer, which has a major vulnerability that can be exploited"

Or something.
I mean I can just make a metasploit executable and do the usual "this is why you dont run random exe's" but that's boring

Are you one the Internet?
If yes, no.
If no, yes.

If you take the proper steps, it can make your identity much harder to find, however if the wrong people are looking for you then it will only delay their efforts.

Assuming you live in the US, the government has some of the most sophisticated cyber forensics tech in the world. If you do something to piss them off enough then you will be found one way or another

You can minimize privacy leaks to companies fairly well using a Linux distro and browser addons like umatrix. From the government, not a chance.

Can you quickly tell me how to change the background image?

you need a new pc

My pc is fine for most of sites. It's just jewgle uses too much js.

Welcome to the realm of responsive design!

The new design lags for me aswell and the animations are just mind boggling because everything takes a couple of seconds to appear now because we have to wait for animations and shit

old design worked perfect in terms of performance

People are ignoring you because they think you're trolling. I think you're trolling.

But if you're not it's your HDD activity light. It's supposed to do that.

>>58940616
What the fuck!? I actually feel like an idiot now.
I used a guide to build it anyways, so I don't really know what many smaller symbols will mean.
I tried googling it but I did not really word it right, due to being a little stoned.

Jesus Christ HAHAHAHA.
This is what I googled, before I posted.

Apple was charging out the ass to license it to anyone, so no one wanted to use it.

Plus, PCs were slow at the time, and couldnt really hit those numbers.

Only high end hardware could, and that's where most firewire shit was used.

>>58940378
Useless for the most part since HDDs barely broke 60MBps, and USB devices didn't need anywhere near that bandwidth.

>>58940519
you know the first USB version (1.1, 1996-2004) only hit 12Mbps/1.5MiB/s, right?
hdd's were slower at the time, but not THAT slow, it was fine for most things though (input devices, printers, earlier webcams, flash drives, card readers, etc)
IEEE1394 was 400Mbps from 1995. not a lot of people had a need for such speed at the time, very few things could use that kind of speed (hdds, DV cameras)

i really dislike working in labview but my work sometimes require it
control systems for water turbines for example

>>58940327
I hate it with a passion but as another anon said, it's good for control systems.

God help you if you have to program in it or have to interface with actual hardware. Fuck that noise I'd rather start from scratch in bare C.

>>58940679
Except when your manager wants a rapidly prototyped clunky piece of shit with next to no scalability. The one fucking design pattern labVIEW has is dumb as fuck and handling events is outright retarded. But yeah sure you can get a voltage - current trace out of a sourcemeter.

Also fucking driver support after windows 7 is a fucking joke NI tech support outright told me to not use windows 8 3 years ago.

No, im happy with my 2500k

Is it possible to get any more cucked?
btw not even gonna touch on the Razer mouse. I should hope that shit speaks for itself.

bought it in the 90's and it still works great for win9x gaming

On an airgapped pc and a usb on my key ring.

>>58940232

I don't have any, I got nothing to hide. I'm not a pedo or a terrorist.

Must be in the hundreds by now. I started back in windows 95 days.

Thousands, thanks to WDS.

Worked desktop support for 3 years, so probably at least 300 times just from that, my best is 6 computers at once.

I did okay in my intro comp sci class, which used Java. It actually took me a few tries to get into Python, I guess I was so use Java. I found reading some other books and taking codecademy course helped with Python. You might want to try those.

And don't worry if it still find it too hard. People have different talents and programming might just not yours. OH well, there are probably lots of other things you could become good at.

>>58939247
do you think theres any merit in forcing myself to get good at programming even if i have literally no talent and most likely below average intelligence?

can i still end up being a good programmer?

It's fine if you struggle, as far as beginners classes go, MIT has a really good one and that means it should be tough. A classmate of mine once said that if you take a class and it's never hard, then that class was a waste as you're too advanced for it/not learning anything. Programming is a way of thinking more than anything else and it can take some time before you get into the right mindset. But if you're serious about learning, then it will pay off.

I have one question before I start. Has it always been like this? From the second my computer was built there was always a 50% chance that Windows wouldn't boot up correctly and be insanely slow. Windows then bricked itself beyond repair and I had to format the entire drive, and from there the new installation works perfectly

>>58938500
I only had massive problems like this once with windows xp, didn't have something on this scale in many windows installations.
